Report on Investigation

Continuing security violations at the Washington National Records Center (WNRC) prompted the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Office of Inspector General (OIG) to initiate an investigation in the interest of National Security. This report focuses on the missing boxes of materials identified at WNRC that were classified as TOP SECRET and Restricted Data. These are not permanent records of the National Archives and Records Administration. These boxes were being stored at WNRC at the request of other government agencies.
